Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
During routine cadaveric dissection done for the undergraduate students in 2013, at the Department of Anatomy, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore an accessory muscle head in the left forearm of a male cadaver was observed which was supplied by a branch of anterior interosseous nerve. Gantzer’s muscle is an accessory portion of the flexor pollicislongus or flexor digitorumprofundus muscle located in the forearm which is considered an anatomical variant. The adequate knowledge regarding muscular variations is essential not only for anatomists but also for surgeons while approaching forearm for tendon transfer of flexor digitorumsuperficialis or anterior approach of elbow. Keywords:Flexor digitorumsuperficialis, Flexor pollicislongus, Common flexor origin, Gantzer’s muscle.
